It would be nice if this ended right now, but if it doesn't - this is just a notice to all of our supporting membership that the Shroomery might take some hits at the hands of the selfish, but in the long run a community this strong will survive whatever is dished out

Good Point!

A hardware firewall to prevent such things to some extent costs $5000-$6000 , money which we currently don?t have. -- Anno

Very correct, it's many thousands of machines - which makes this quite the predictament. -- geokills

There are also things being done, we can't discuss everything about this issue but rest assured we are doing everything possible to end this nonesense. -- [****]

Haha, the Shr00mery is FUCKED!!!! No mercy to cowards. Victory is ours. No retreat. No surrender. Not one step backwards!

They're lo$ing because they've embezzled and squandered the money. They've run out of ammunition and supplies. Their forces are stretched too thin to bring us a proper fight. They're even talking about more repression of members to cover their bills. We shall hang these capitalist thieving pigs who dare rob the people.

Soon all the members will be join us -- a free and fair society -- and the vendors will give up on them. We will be the #1 of the shroom sites, comrades.

Commissar of the people.


Ps. How's it feel Anno and your thieving whores! You've been made our bitch. LOL. Soon we will crush 69.28.174.165 www.shr00mery.org

They can not ban me, I am the people.

It is high time to expose the capitalist swine of the Shr00mery as the corruption and collusion to the usury of money has forsaken the need of benevolence to the people.

The opportunity for equilibrium and restoration was simplicity itself. We are housed in the same quarters of the animal farm, so it was easy for us to feed the poisons into the troughs of the reactionary pigs who lord a counter-revolution. For that, they are paying the penance for their crimes of embezzlement and the greatest charge of all, treason.

It is known Anno and Lana are suppliers to Sporeworks and have hatched many schemes to racketeer profits off the common man. These blood sucking parasites have not gone unstopped. This has not gone unnoticed. This will not be tolerated.

They are now doomed to our demands for transparency and as long as their own greed has taken their means to move house, we will ensure that they have an uncomfortable stay.

Yours, for the people.
Commissar.

What's wrong with a being a capitalist? 

And their self-titled claim as a commissar is quite humorous.

Yeah, by denying people the privledge of coming here, that's what they're creating.

IMO, we already have that here, and if that was their real goal, wouldn't they do it on their own merit, and not by these "fascist" techniques.

Being that this could be prevented by a hardware firewall, why not allow the members to donate of their own accord?  If we feel so inclinded, could we set up a fund for this?  We, as members of this community, all have vested interest in this site.  To me it would be a privledge to contribute in a way that will allow the continued (unabated) operation of this site.

this is crazy man what the fuck.....

All I ask is that people of the Shroomery not attempt to "retaliate" or get revenge because this could probably get way worse if these people know what they're doing

---

Yes, I couldn't agree more!

I might add that the primary concern of the staff of The Shroomery is always the continued smooth operation of this web-site for our members. Besides, we're not the revenge type -- we've been enlightened by the magic mushroom...

are there any actions being taken to at least make an attempt at putting some specifics to the crime?

Maybe if you outlined your current budget people could see where they should donate or not. Maybe someone would donate the hardware if they saw you were in real need. Personally I remember the Shroomery was going to setup a $5000 "slush fund" in case something like this happened. Where is that money now? Where is the dedication the admins once had for this site? You have geokills, papaver, Thor, Ythan, Vampire999, Anno, Seuss... you're telling me you can't come up with enough money to get rid of this problem? That youre actually thinking about accepting donations??..

You're making a few thousand a month in banner revenue... where is all that going?

Maybe if you were a little less "high and mighty", and were a little more down to earth, you wouldn't have these problems. Especially if you didn't allow people like mndfreeze to degrade the quality of this site.. by his posts, and by doing illegal things with his server that you host. Why don't you save the money by not hosting his server, and put the money to good use.

Always out to start a flamewar. There is nothing illegal on my box and if you feel there is such things please contact your local law enforcement agency and file a complaint. Nothing you say or do is going to affect my box so you might as well give up your petty attempts to slander me with bullshit.

Second, im *SURE* you know that money doesnt buy off DDOS attacks. The only thing it might buy is somsone who knows who it is to give up there name. Are you for sale 3d?

Are you trying to blackmail us?

What you're doing is illegal, and so are the DoS attacks, which account for a large loss of income to shroomery.

Dude, Tin Man, watch your word selection. Here you are, acusing 3D of blackmail by taking 3D's words out of context. You did it like a smooth polititian. However, if you re-read your own post, you'll find it can be just as easily misunderstood.

It could read like you are acusing 3D of Blackmail AND the DOS attacks:

"What you're doing is illegal, and so are the DoS attacks"

I know, you were making a different point entirely but your post can be easily misunderstood... unlike 3D's post. Blackmail? That? You are stretching Tin Man.

Be very careful with your word selection. You are a mod, you know how conspiracy happy most Shroomerites are. It takes very little to get everybody pointing fingers.

That would be letting the terrorists win .

Mods and admins need to be careful what they say in public about thie DOS attacks. You guys have access to mod forums. A poorly written statement can easily imply you know more than you actually do... especially to the conspiracy loving Shroomerites.
